longest antelope pack out?

[CareyJAF50]

I was backpack muley hunting and very unexpectedly glassed up and subsequently killed this OTC feller 4.95 miles in from the truck per my OnX track. Stark contrast to my archery buck last year that was maybeeee 150 yards off the road. hahaha

Hiked my first one out almost 4.5 miles. Went on a second choice tag in a unit I knew would require some walking.

Actually in a pack, about a mile. My oldest son's we took out about 2 miles in a walk in area on a game cart through 6"of snow. That was stupid... would have been easier to just drag him in hindsight.

I packed my 2021 goat 2.5 miles

I would have to say about 1.5 miles on BLM.

Went hunting with a buddy over the weekend and we ended up packing his antelope out four miles- a new record for me The doe he shot (after putting on a sneak through a prairie dog town) ran across a county road and died 20' from the edge of the road

I've packed several out in the 2-3 mile range before, thankfully antelope don't weigh a lot!

Love antelope hunting

only about a mile for me!

My first goat trip to Wyoming was the longest pack out for both my buddy and I, just over 2 miles

 

[NRA4LIFE]

About 2 miles only for me.

2+ miles with my wife's antelope on my shoulders. No pack frame. I couldn't get that smell out of my nostrils for several hours.

Mine was just over 500yds this year from the road I was parked on. But have packed them 2+ miles out before as well.

2.6 miles this year with my son antelope. It was only about 1.6 from the truck but up a nasty steep rocky face and a couple of hundred ft of elevation. We went the long way and dropped the packs at the road and walked the last half mile back to the truck empty. We ran out of water on the way out to the antelope several hours earlier which made for a pretty crappy hike, we were both pretty dehydrated on the way out. My 16yr old was in tennis shoes and didn't have a pack so I ended up packing the whole goat myself.

That antelope way bedded in the wide open with only a little roll in the ground to cover, we ended up crawling several hundred yards to get into range and waited about an hour for him to stand up while being waterless in the direct sunlight.

This goat was 8.5 miles in on foot on BLM in north central WY in 2021 on a 2nd choice tag. In hindsight, it was a tad far for an antelope but my buddy and I had a blast.

^ that might take the gold medal there for distance!

 

[tkhuntsman]

My longest was about 3.5 miles.

 

[BradArnett]

2 miles for me

 

[resident vs nonresident]

2 pronghorn double up just about 5 miles. It wasn’t a straight line as we were still trying to fill another tag as we worked our way back. Ran out of water on an exceptionally hot October day. even all my mule/elk packouts were less than that.

Around the 2-mile mark is longest antelope pack out I have ever had. Most are way shorter.

 

[Jaden Bales]

I did a 6.2 miler this year for the novelty of a backpack goat/mule deer combo hunt. Haha. Checked it off the list and am not yearning to it again. Probably same unit as @TheGreek

This little guy was tasty and had a good story though.

I think I packed one 10 feet once.
